Apparently you can pack massive amounts of data into DNA, using special sequencing and redundant data techniques. It's pretty interesting that organic storage approaches are inherently imperfect but are still good-enough-functional, like most of our technology.

OK, it's a little clickbait-y but the idea is that we don't know anything much about gene editing and we should wait before trying to turn ourselves into superheroes. Whatever! (But seriously, the scientists are probably right.)

OK, holy shit. Watch the video. Leave it on for a bit. It's awesome (in a repetitive way). If technobuddhism becomes an actual religion, I think I might just convert 100% wholeheartedly. (I'm already fairly into Buddhism as a general concept, and of course, techno.)

Neato! I like to imagine a future where we have so much historical data on our planet that we can predict all sorts of events as they're about to happen by using machine learning. Imagine even machine learning across planets! Of course, that relies on a predictable, repeating data set, which global warming and meteors unfortunately are not.
